armom Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 We are about to start using Foerster Algebra and Trig book next week. We were supposed to start earlier this year, but we ended up repeating Algebra I using Foerster book since they initially used MUS for Algebra I. I want to know how much to use for Algebra II. We will be doing Pre-calculus next year, and still haven't figured out what text to use. I have read that some are not as fond of Foerster for Pre-calculus. I will have to use something at home for Pre-calculus as money is tight, and we will have no funds for online options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I am planning to do Chapters 1 through 12, thus stopping at the trigonometry chapters. But since we are doing it right now, I can't promise that this is good enough. I guess I will know by this time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Conventional wisdom is that the first 12 chapters are Algebra 2, but the more I look at Foerster, the more I think we're going to do the whole book. We might do Derek Owens for PreCalc, but we finish the non-trig precalc topics with ALEKs or something off of the list of recommended texts from the author of the Novare book (which I notice does not contain Foerster's PreCalc book): https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AODVtO1FFFkHTdc&cid=698BD5FB30473AFB&id=698BD5FB30473AFB%211004&parId=698BD5FB30473AFB%21994&o=OneUp There is also Philfour, which can be for free or very economically.
